Brightstar Corp. bought San Francisco's LetsTalk.com Inc. and will rename it Consensus.

Miami-based Brightstar, which didn't say what it paid in the deal, will put its former chief technology officer, David Stritzinger, in charge of the Consensus unit, which will stay in San Francisco.

Brightstar is a wireless services company that helps other businesses in the mobile device market do their work better. It helps customers design and make mobile devices more efficiently, distribute them better, and sell them, too.

LetsTalk.com Inc. fills in what Brightstar calls a "gap" in its services -- it activates mobile devices and helps sell things through them.

Marcelo Claure is chairman and CEO of Brightstar. Before starting the company, he worked at Unplugged Communications and at Small World Communications.

Steven E.F. Brown is web editor at the San Francisco Business Times.
